    How did this upgrade effect your Windows Experience Index - Right now that and memory speed are the only things keeping mine from breaking 5.0. Everything else is 5.5 or higher.

    Edit: Nevermind - Saw your post in the previous thread.

    My HDD score is 4.9. The drives you guys get with the 9539's must be faster as well as larger. My memory score is 4.8 as well.
